   Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. 2
   Sift flour, salt and baking powder into a bowl.
3. 3
   Add brown sugar and butter and cut into flour with pastry blender or 2 knives.
4. 4
   Add milk gradually, tossing with fork to moisten evenly. Add a few drops more milk if mix seems dry. It should not stick to the bowl or your hands.
5. 5
   Divide dough into 4 pieces and press each into a ball and flatten slightly.
6. 6
   Place each cake of dough between 2 pieces of wax paper and roll with rolling pin to about 3/16 inch thickness.
7. 7
   Peel off top piece of wax paper and flip dough over onto ungreased cookie or pizza sheet.
8. 8
   Cut into squares or any shape you like. A pizza cutter is good for this.
9. 9
   Prick all over with a fork, then bake at 375 degrees until lightly browned, about 8-10 minutes Watch closely because crackers brown quickly. If the crackers on the outside brown before the center, remove the outer crackers and continue to bake the rest.
